What the company does
Sunbelt Rentals (formerly Ashtead, now U.S.-listed) rents construction equipment in North America and the UK: lifts, excavators, generators. Revenue comes from daily/monthly equipment rentals to contractors.
What was checked

Figures from the company's filings (2026-07-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 8.3% of total assets (2026-07-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
